Can you give me suggestions with wihdrawal symptoms from hydrocodone?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

How severe?: Mild symptoms can be treated symptomatically - Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen for pain, Imodium for diarrhea, pepto bismol for abdominal cramps, Benadryl (diphenhydramine) for help sleeping. A blood pressure medicine, clonidine, can also reduce withdrawal symptoms. For more severe withdrawal, Methadone and Buprenorphine can be used to taper someone down over several days to several weeks, or for maintenance treatment.
